With the passage of the Americans with Disability Act, designers and businesses are urgently seeking innovative ways to comply with the new legislation. They should find this volume to be a useful sourcebook for attractive barrier-free design products, installations, and ideas. From space planning, through ceilings and walls, to furniture, a wide variety of ideas are presented in a format designed to be presented to clients. The illustrations emphasize the creative ideas and applications discussed in the text. Leibrock includes technical information to help designers meet professional code requirements. She also labels each paragraph for quick access to such information as wheelchair guidelines or other specific disability regulations. This book provides the home health movement with real-world residential solutions for the disabled and elderly, and should also be of interest to interior designers and architects.
